I already generate man pages (and POD) with Claude for my new projects. :D

It works really well.

Any links you wanna share? I've never seen an AI generated man page.

They are not public projects, but man pages and their README.md is generated albeit refined through prompts.

It is not simply a "generate man page" without context.
